If '82 was in Montreal, then it had to be Davey. I remember watching that game because of that.

What if Grease is not the word?

Dolly Parton wasn't working 9 to 5...

I was thinking the exact same thing last night. Far and away the all-star game that most closely resembles a regular season game. There's nobody out there looking to embarrass themselves, so the game is played with the same intensity.

AL wins it 8-6

I think this is what everyone thought would happen at GABP. Man, the wind must have changed mid-game, because there were several that looked like they were hit hard but died at the warning track.

SCOOTER!!!!

Game of solo shots. Story hits one in the 7th to tie it up.

Votto and Suarez get in the game in the top of the 6th.

Contreras with leadoff HR for NL in bottom of 3rd. Cuts lead to 2-1.

Trout goes deep off of deGrom. AL up 2-0.

Kemp with a double for the NL, but stranded at 2nd. 1-0 AL heading to the 3rd.

Scoreless no more...Judge with leadoff HR.

Baez with a leadoff single, but Sale gets the next 3. 0-0 heading to the 2nd.

Scherzer strikes out Betts and Altuve to start the game, then gives up a walk and a single, but gets a popup to end the inning. National League coming to bat.

1000 times better than Berman.

No, I-65 runs from Louisville to Bowling Green (and down into Nashville). Technically Florence would be considered east of that. I-75 also runs north and south, connecting Cincinnati/Lexington/London (amongst other cities). You may also see him use I-64, which runs east and west. It connects Louisville/Frankfort/Lexington/Ashland.

Come on now, you may be a diehard Cubs fan, but even you have to admit that the number of people who suddenly became fans two years ago was obscene. Same way in 2004 when the Red Sox won it. People who claimed they were fans couldn't tell you who Ernie Banks or Ted Williams were. I have absolutely no problem "making fun" of those people. They aren't in it for the baseball, they're in it because it's "cool" at the time. As to there being...

He can't...he'll be pitching. :clap:

I think context in general, is huge. A guy can draft AJ Green for his fantasy football team and use the reason "because he's dangerous", and it not have a racist tone/connotation to it. He simply means that he's got a chance to score or have a big gain every time he touches the ball. He means it in the figurative sense, not the literal (implying that he's in a gang or carries a gun or whatever). And whether the fantasy football guy is...

One of the surest things I can post here is that Matt Harvey will not be a Red next year. Just can't see it. I'd imagine if he continues like he's done the past month or so, that there's going to be some teams interested...so, trading him makes the most sense. But, even if he's not traded, I just can't imagine him signing here as a FA in the off-season. I think he'll want too much. The one player mentioned that I would NOT trade is...

Never mind, saw where you were pulling that data from. Went and looked it up myself. 483 innings would move them from 23 to 9 (and 4th in the NL). So, if just a measly 1/3 of an inning makes that big of a jump, it tells me that it's not really that far out of the norm. Are there some elite teams? Sure. There may even be a really bad team. But for the most part there's a lot of teams really close together.

So, 11 more innings out of 87 games makes them average? Just for giggles then, if every starter had gone just one-third of an inning more in each game, they'd be at 483...which is 18 innings over the average...where would that put them?

Keep it going. If you can win 5 out of the next 9, you the man!

Who did you end up going with?

Okay, now that's part of the reason why I asked this question. Had a friend on Facebook the other post one of those things "Where I'm from, we..." and one of the things was "we call fireflies lightning bugs." While I had heard the term firefly before, I got to thinking that I've never really heard anyone actually call them that. So, didn't know if it was a regional thing or not. Thanks CWB!

Do you realize how rare the situation was last night? In over 300 plate appearances, Votto reaches base 94% of the time with a 3-0 count. Let that sink in...94 times out of 100, Votto is getting on base (and scoring that run). For Pete's sake, he's got more hits on that count than he's made outs, and still has 264 walks to go with it! If there's ever been a guy in baseball whose eye's I trust and give the green light to, it's Joey Votto. End...
